This programme is a deep dive into creativity, guiding you right from the very spark of an idea all the way through to releasing your own song into the world.

Essentially this programme blends everything from the other two programmes but with a more holistic approach, as well as coaching on everything that goes into releasing your brand new masterpiece.

IDEA CREATION

Sometimes the hardest part of doing anything is knowing where to start. Across my career I’ve found so many interesting and unexpected ways of keeping inspired and coming up with ideas musical ideas, from writing a journal every morning and learning to draw, to active daydreaming, unusual collaborations and 12 hour song challenges. I’ll be sharing with you all of my techniques for idea creation and we’ll come up with a concept and direction that you connect to.

SONG CREATION

Next we will begin to put pen to paper, coming up with melodies and chords to help communicate that idea. We’ll play around a lot here, experimenting with different directions and why you might go for each of them.

We’ll also explore the both the fundamentals and stylings of your chosen delivery i.e Singing, spoken word, rap etc

SONG PRODUCTION

Once we are both happy with and excited about the song we’ll move onto the next stage which is producing that song. In this part of the programme we’ll be elevating the song from a cool idea into a recorded masterpiece. We will discuss and experiment with different production directions, layer instruments, vocals, drums and talk through home recording techniques that will help you achieve professional recordings.

In this section we will also dissect the production of 3 of your favourite songs, as well as 3 of my own songs to find out why certain decisions are made and how we can apply that to your song production.

POST PRODUCTION

Mixing and mastering will be the last stage of this process, perhaps the most technical part of the programme, we’ll explore how to make your music sound great on any speaker or pair of headphones.

RELEASE

One of the most important and overlooked parts of the music making process, we’ll create a release plan for your song and find the best way to put it out into the world. If this is something you are doing as a hobby that can be a self release, if you are doing this for a living we can explore how and who to approach in terms of managers, agents, labels, publishers, distributors etc.

We’ll talk about the importance of music videos and supporting video content, and come up with ideas for your campaign, from artwork to lyric videos, release strategy, and creating a music video. This can be done either at the low budget/free level or higher budget level, there is no barrier here, just creativity.
